Pride celebrity x scooter flashes 6 times and s ometimes 5 times

Youre 3 lights flashing unplug charger & turn key of and back on.., Hi the correct pot for you're scooter is a 25kohm resistance =25,000 ohm's..in regards to brake assembly try ringing monster scooter parts 800-798-0325 to c if u have the correct brake assembly cheers i do u know the make & model of scooter :: resistance on the potentiometer sounds a bit wrong most range between 25 K ohm to ,100 K ohm resistance. A 100 K ohm = 100-000 ohm's..a pride wrangler uses a 250 K ohm pot . Cheers

hi , that's a brake issue , check the microswitch located on the brake , check the wiring connection to the brake and then the resistance, about 30 to 60 ohms ...

Hi , the controller could be at fault but firstly you make sure the connections are good by refitting them making sure they are a good fit , look for discolouration, disconnect the motor and brake and check resistances (smart meter etc), the motor should read around 0.4 ohms, the brake from 30 to 60 ohms...

I do repair controllers and you ;re welcome to send it to me for free testing , you pay for the return postage only...

hi, that code is telling you there is a issue with the brake, whether the resistance is incorrect (bad connection to the brake or the brake itself has failed) or the micro switch has failed...If you're able to disconnect the bake cable and have a smart meter etc , then measure the resistance, should read from 30 upto 60 ohms...

The brake is located on the side of the motor from there you will be able to see the micro switch that operates according to the freewheel lever...make sure drive mode is engaged , turn off then back on ,,,

Please contact is you require further help...

I'd be looking at the motor controller first. Since you don't have any flashing leds to indicate a problem, perhaps the brushes on the motors need replacing.

Hi remove key put freewheel lever into drive & replace key .turn on...,... good luck.,

Hi remove the key & push freewheel lever into drive.,.. cheers

If the batteries are good, you have solved 80% of most scooter problems. You have described the following problem:

You have a flash code of 9, that is the status light flashes 9 times, then there is a pause, then flashes 9 times again and the scooter will not drive.

This means that you have an internal controller problem. The only solution to this problem is to replace the controller (computer module). The controller is located under a plastic cover under your feet when you are sitting in the scooter. Remove this plastic cover and remove the aluminum cover of the controller inspecting for burnt and melted wiring.

You should have the manufacturer run the serial number for this scooter to verify the correct component parts (Pride 800-800-8586). Pride can also verify if the parts are covered under warranty. Warranty repairs need to be done by a certified technician or a dealer.

The R series controller for this scooter runs $230 retail. All the associated wiring harnesses plugged into it (if melted or damaged) will run another $230. Labor is about 1 hour and you can do it yourself. Take off all the covers and plug the wiring harnesses in one at a time noting how they are run.

I have seen the wiring and plugs melted where they plug into the controller, so inspect this area carefully.

You can test the motor with a digital voltmeter. Unplug the motor and put your test leads across the red and black connectors . The resistance should be between .5 and 1.5 ohms for a good motor. Test the motor brake by reading the resistance across the 2 white connectors. It should read between 30-35 ohms across the brake. Hope this helps.

Hi
Please Check that your Freewheel Lever is Fully in Position as if is Slightly out of Position it will Not Work,

Sounds like your motor brake is out. Usually the discolor on the brake indicates it has overheated.
